• Glide knob: Introduce a continuous pitch bend between two consecutively played notes.
Adjust the value to set the time required for the pitch to travel from the last played note
to the next. At a value of 0, no glide effect occurs.
Note: The ESM always works in a fingered portamento mode, with notes played in a
legato style resulting in a glide—portamento—from pitch to pitch.
Logic Pro ESM filter and filter envelope
ESM includes a lowpass filter that lets you contour the output from the oscillator. The filter
has a dedicated envelope.
Filter and filter envelope parameters
• Cutoff knob: Set the cutoff frequency of the filter. Its slope is 24dB/octave.
• Resonance knob: Boost or cut portions of the signal that surround the frequency
defined by the cutoff parameter.
Note: Increasing the Resonance value results in a rejection of bass—low frequency
energy—when using lowpass filters. The ESM compensates for this side-effect
internally, resulting in a more bassy sound.
• Int knob: Define the amount (depth) of cutoff frequency modulation applied by the
envelope generator.
• Decay knob: Set the decay time of the filter envelope.
• Velo knob: Set the velocity sensitivity of the cutoff frequency modulation applied by the
envelope generator.
Note: The Decay and Velo parameters have no effect if Int is set to 0.
